## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.19.25
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The automatic install behavior creates only an initial local workflow-state file and preserves an existing one. Network access and broader agent configuration changes are tied to configured Factory tools or an explicitly run setup command, consistent with the package's purpose.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-02T01:38:25.240Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-02T01:39:06.093Z
- **Download time:** 531 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1108 ms
- **AI review time:** 39212 ms
- **Total time:** 40853 ms

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified; observed install, network, and configuration behavior aligns with workflow-state setup and the package's documented integrations.

- **Trigger:** Installation initializes local state; Factory network requests occur through configured MCP tools; agent setup runs when the setup script is explicitly invoked.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection, credential forwarding, account action, or automatic agent-configuration change was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T01:39:06.093Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The postinstall script creates an idle .state/workflow-state.json if absent. Factory calls use configured credentials, and setup-stack.js writes OpenCode configuration when directly run.

- **Rationale:** The automatic install behavior creates only an initial local workflow-state file and preserves an existing one. Network access and broader agent configuration changes are tied to configured Factory tools or an explicitly run setup command, consistent with the package's purpose.

- **Files touched:** .state/workflow-state.json, OpenCode config/opencode.json, target project AGENTS.md

- **Network endpoints:** pocketbase.programinglive.com, FACTORY\_URL or FACTORY\_API\_URL configured by the user, github.com/obra/superpowers.git, raw.githubusercontent.com/rtk-ai/rtk

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook initializes workflow state under the installer's project directory and skips when that directory is inside node\_modules., The state file contains initial workflow fields and is created only when it does not already exist., Factory integration requires an explicitly configured Factory URL and credentials; its operations are exposed as named MCP tools., The OpenCode setup routine runs when setup-stack.js is invoked directly and configures the agent environment for this package's purpose.

- **Evidence against:** package.json declares prepare and postinstall lifecycle scripts, so install.js runs automatically during installation., The explicit setup routine can edit OpenCode configuration and install dependencies; bootstrap scripts can download and run RTK's official installer.

## Affected versions and remediation
